But trevor didn’t bring out his full potential. He just turned a worldclass wrestler into a technical strikers who forgot how to wrestle.

@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 That wasn't Trevor's decision as far as I'm concerned. Justin has said in interviews that he doesn't fight to win, he fights to entertain and wants people to feel fortunate that they watched him fight. That's why he keeps fights on his feet and avoids takedowns and submissions.

BMF

@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 Gaethje is not a wordclass wrestler. Every NCAA wrestler that doesn't hit the olympics and one tricks in freestyle they suck I'm sorry. There is a reason Russians have been smacking most Americans for so long and it's the judo background in their sambo. Americans only win against Russians when they rely purely on explosive takedowns to score then they reset because they can't scramble or get pins to save their life.

I second that. Like he had a great video about rhythm stepping/ timing the jab. Real good stuff

Sounds like a GOAT

Why..?

100%, just try, can't do it well.

In some situations, you are right. But for him to push off the ground requires dropping his weight *even if you can't see it*. The next step is to reduce the amount of head raising to zero. And finally learn to drop the head for max power. You are trying to run before walking (probably because you are naturally athletic, unlike me).

exactly

johnny from expert boxing says the opposite, he talks about how a punch is an implosion where you sit down or contract inwards and downward as u punch at the moment of impact. its like when u try to push a wall, if u pop up and push, little force is there, if u sit and contract downwards, plenty force is there. what do u think ? to the end of the video when he was dropping down to hit the power shots, he was not popping up. he dipped down and hit form the bottom position then popped up. except the uppercut of course. am i incorrect? also i will add that jack dempsey's fighting style and power generation technique was called the jack dempsey falling step's, look it up. it involved a tiny hop and the punch lands when the body is falling back to the ground that way the power of the punch is magnified due to gravity and the mass or your body. mike tyson used this. ramsey dewy made a video about this. i use this and its legit. sure there may be some punches that involve upward motion eg variations of superman punching but ........

@@drphill7561 I actually found Johnny after years of no learning at various gyms. Like I said, I'm not naturally athletic and it took him breaking it ALL the way down to potato head before I started feeling an improvement. He's so good. But Coach Wittman here is teaching the rise so you feel the dropping weight by push down off the ground. This is useful to noobs or people who aren't natural athletes but it's also useful in the middle of a fight where it can be hard to keep good form. You (and Johnny) aren't wrong bjt this type of instruction is not meant to be taken as perfect form. It's an awareness training exercise, like when he was oicking up the weight, setting it down, and immediately uppercutting. The extra weight is not to build muscle, its to build *awareness* through increased load. Similarly the up bounce is to make sure you are pushing down (becaise how else can you move up!). And thanks for being so thorough and polite in your comment. I have a feeling that most if the internet tough guys and people who get annoyed easy don't train much or at all. I mean, getting your technique right is way harder and more annoying than yt comments.

i think you are observing from a boxing standpoint and assuming you are throwing straight punches from a high guard. furthermore, if your fists start anywhere lower than your target, it will have to fly in some parabola type shape, so you have to "lift" your punch before you can contract downwards.

you found those?

@@jacksonvahue4275 no :-(

Idk but consider boxing is fought at a much closer range than MMA so it’s more limited in movement strategies and can be better to focus on sharp quick movements on the inside because your opponent is much more often going to be staying in punching range. Even with that said there’s def countless boxers who have cues from both not like there’s a right or wrong answer.

you have to consider where your punch initiates from. it is hard to believe that every power punch you throw originates from above your target

@@emptyclips800 true and difference of height to opponent also distance will affect the angle, good point

both works dude… the thing with explaining motoric skills is, that people try to force them too actively and always tense up and end up trying too hard.. in the end the only thing that matters is, that after impact of the fist, the body must have the structure and ground contact to handle the recoil of the force transmitted into the bag or the opponent.. will you bounce of the bag, or will the bag bounce of your fist ? this happens fractions AFTER contact, not just before as most ppl explain. You can get that effect of winning the battle of recoiling force with both approches… sitting “down” or resist with an invisible bounce of the calve muscles (or grabing the ground with your toes). The tall approach with the leg thing is a little better to stay mobile with footwork or for combos in my oppinion. Dont think to much just go to the heavybag and practice to just FEEL without form, without a guard and a first only low punches in solar plexus height… then go SLOW and let loose like a literal DEAD person and dont worry about force generation but ONLY about transmittion.. dont even tense up even not at the last milimeter before impact (or else you will push and not crush like a wave of water).. in fact dont tense up actively at all but only let your body resist the recoil.. You worrying about the attempt of jonnys explanation or the others guys shows me that you dont yet have hard and unforced punches or else you would know that all those explenations are just attempts of people to describe what they feel subjectively and that in reality its just about letting dead body weight crush and then resist the rebound after impact

@@osmanacmiyun6023 My guy spitting FACTS

He is a Champion wrestler

@@michel7angelo459 no, he wasn't.

I mean it’s basically focused on leg strength. So it should be in one fluid motion. Resetting into a guard would take the tension off the legs. That's the opposite of what this exercise is trying to do

hey i just posted a comment about this asking them about this. this is the same thing i'm saying

But lowering your body physically can’t generate force greater than that from pushing your body. That’s basic physics that something going up has to have more force behind it than something falling down because it’s fighting gravity.

@@buckets3628 nah man your wrong the energy from sinking down activatethe quads and glutes while also sending energy down then up watch this ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qpt0mplneXyWoo0.html

@@hectorcervantes2558 Certainly not wrong it’s basic physics and anatomy. in that video the dudes body literally moves up as his hardest punch lands just like this video explained so I don’t see your point.
